It dawned on me the other day that our domicile possesses enough character and standing to warrant a name, if we wanted to go that route. This is dicey territory, putting a little sign in your driveway that announces to passersby that these are no ordinary digs - this joint's got a name, a proud name - Bumblebee Farm !
I used to live on a gentleman's farm with the unfortunate name The Snuggery. Please.
There are patterns that are generally used for naming a property. Combining an appealing word with a terrain word is popular - Hobbit Cove, Shepard's Glen, Windswept Farm, Sandy Cove. If you're lucky enough to have a name like Snow or Green you're pretty much all set with SnowScape or Green Acres. If you're a Rabinowitz, you'll have your work cut out for you.
We could always go with a suggestion made years ago for a farm I lived on - Sugrue-La, but at the moment we're down to two choices. Terry's inclined to go with Wise Acres while my heart is set on Rope's End.
